    Characteristics of Suppressor Macrophages Induced by Mycobacterial and Protozoal Infections in relation to Alternatively Activated M2 Macrophages

    In the advanced stages of mycobacterial infections, host immune systems tend to change from a Th1-type to Th2-type immune response, resulting in the abrogation of Th1 cell- and macrophage-mediated antimicrobial host protective immunity. Notably, this type of immune conversion is occasionally associated with the generation of certain types of suppressor macrophage populations. During the course of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) and Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare complex (MAC) infections, the generation of macrophages which possess strong suppressor activity against host T- and B-cell functions is frequently encountered. This paper describes the immunological properties of M1- and M2-type macrophages generated in tumor-bearing animals and those generated in hosts with certain microbial infections. In addition, this paper highlights the immunological and molecular biological characteristics of suppressor macrophages generated in hosts with mycobacterial infections, especially MAC infection

    Development of speckle-free channel-cut crystal optics using plasma chemical vaporization machining for coherent x-ray applications

    We have developed a method of fabricating speckle-free channel-cut crystal optics with plasma chemical vaporization machining, an etching method using atmospheric-pressure plasma, for coherent X-ray applications. We investigated the etching characteristics to silicon crystals and achieved a small surface roughness of less than 1 nm rms at a removal depth of >10 μm, which satisfies the requirements for eliminating subsurface damage while suppressing diffuse scattering from rough surfaces. We applied this method for fabricating channel-cut Si(220) crystals for a hard X-ray split-and-delay optical system and confirmed that the crystals provided speckle-free reflection profiles under coherent X-ray illumination.Takashi Hirano, Taito Osaka, Yasuhisa Sano, Yuichi Inubushi, Satoshi Matsuyama, Kensuke Tono, Tetsuya Ishikawa, Makina Yabashi, and Kazuto Yamauchi, "Development of speckle-free channel-cut crystal optics using plasma chemical vaporization machining for coherent x-ray applications", Review of Scientific Instruments 87, 063118 (2016) https://doi.org/10.1063/1.4954731

    Hard x-ray intensity autocorrelation using direct two-photon absorption

    An intensity autocorrelation measurement is demonstrated to characterize a pulse duration of 9-keV x-ray free-electron laser (XFEL) pulses from a split-delay optical (SDO) system with four-bounce silicon 220 reflections in each branch. XFEL pulse replicas with variable time delays are generated by the SDO system itself. High intensity of >2×1016W/cm2 achieved in a self-seeding operation and careful data analysis allow the measurement with direct two-photon absorption. The autocorrelation trace gave a duration of 7.6±0.8fs in full width at half maximum for a Gaussian assumption. Furthermore, the trace shows good agreement with a simulation of the XFEL pulse shape propagating through the SDO system, irrespective of spectral chirps in the original XFEL pulses. Our results open the door toward direct temporal characterization of narrowband XFELs at the hard x-ray regime, such as self-seeded and future cavity-based XFELs, and indicate a solid way for temporal tailoring of ultrafast x-ray pulses with perfect crystals.Osaka T., Inoue I., Yamada J., et al.
